if you have 2 roos, will they both crow?

[LaSombra]

my elder roo is about 4 months old now, but he's been crowing since he was less than 2 months old. I have a younger roo that's over 3 months now, but I've never heard him crow. Will he just not crow since he's the subordinate rooster or is he just slower to mature? ...or does it just depend on the personalities of the roosters/flock?

thanks

I think it depends on the rooster.

I have two roos also, and only 1 crows. The other does not since he is the subordinate one. When my Sebright (the subordinate one) was dominant (before took him to the county fair then in quarantine when he got home) he would crow all the time, along with the Silkie rooster (the dominant rooster now).

So, I guess it all depends on the rooster.

Probably all of those. He'll crow, eventually.

I have 2 12 week old boys that both started crowing between 7 & 8 weeks old. The head boy crows alot more and alot louder than the other.

I have eight roosters ranging in age from 2 to 5 years old, they all crow, loudly and often.

What the last person said, both will likely crow loudly and often, lol. All of mine do!

Yes,
eventually...

 

[mulia24]

yes, they will.

Yea, probably. My JG roo didn't start crowing until he was 6 mos old. We have 4 roos (possibly 3 as of tomorrow morning...ones a bit rough with the girls

) and all crow. However, the two top roos crow much more than the two omega roos.

When I had two roos, only the alpha crowed. The sub. only crowed when he thought the alpha was far enough away that he could get away with it.
